Looking for a single wrapped spritz biscuit to enjoy with your coffee on the go? Check the inner packaging before choosing a pack. PLUS uses ‘Per Wikkel’ in two product names, but that doesn’t confirm that each biscuit or portion is individually wrapped. A standard box may also work if you take biscuits with you in a well-sealed container. Remember to check the allergens for the variant you choose, too.
You want to pop a biscuit in your bag or coat pocket to have with your coffee, without carrying an open box. ‘Per Wikkel’ in a PLUS product name is a reason to check the packaging more closely, not proof that the biscuits are individually wrapped.
You need to check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variant before setting off. Wheat and milk are relevant for the PLUS, Verkade and Jumbo variants described here; check each product for egg, soya and possible traces, too.
You want to keep a pack at work or at home, and take a few spritz biscuits with you in a sealed container if needed. For products including Verkade Nobo Sprits and AH Spritsen, the storage advice includes sealing the pack well after opening.
First decide whether an individually wrapped portion is essential. Then check the ingredients and how many biscuits you want to take with you or keep at home.
| What to look for | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Individual wrapping | Check the current packaging or product photo to see whether there are individual wrappers and what they contain. The name ‘Per Wikkel’ alone doesn’t confirm this. | If I want to take one spritz biscuit with me in a sealed wrapper, I need to know whether it’s individually wrapped. Around 50% of consumers put this kind of individual portion first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant, including any ‘may contain’ information. | If I need to check what I can eat before setting off, the ingredients in this particular pack are decisive. Around 30% of consumers put ingredients and allergens first. |
| Pack size and storage | Compare the stated weight or number of biscuits, and check how to store the pack after opening. | If I’m buying biscuits for several coffee breaks, I want to know how many I’m getting and how to seal the rest. Pack size and storage are the top priorities for around 20% of consumers. |
PLUS uses these words in product names, but they don’t tell you how many individual wrappers are in a pack or what each wrapper contains.
If a sealed portion is essential for you, check the current pack or a clear product photo.
Jumbo lists 15 portions for its Lunetta Spritsen met Cacao en Glazuur. A portion in the nutritional information doesn’t tell you whether there’s a physical wrapper.
Check the packaging separately from the nutritional information.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between spritz biscuit variants. Wheat and milk are relevant for the products described here; information about egg, soya or possible traces varies by variant.
Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the pack when you buy it.
For several of the spritz biscuits described here, the storage advice is to keep them in a dry place and seal the pack well after opening. An open box is therefore not the same as a sealed portion for taking on the go.
Take biscuits from a standard box with you in a small, well-sealed container.
PLUS sells Spritsen Per Wikkel in a 175 g pack and Lunetta spritsen Per Wikkel in a 200 g pack.
Verkade Nobo Sprits is available as a plain variety and in chocolate varieties.
As well as Verkade Nobo Sprits, Albert Heijn offers its own 200 g butter spritz biscuits, with 10 in a pack.
Jumbo sells Lunetta Spritsen met Cacao en Glazuur in a 200 g pack.
Biscotto is ALDI’s own brand for a pack of butter spritz biscuits containing 12 biscuits and weighing 175 g.
The product name alone doesn’t confirm this. For both PLUS Spritsen Per Wikkel and PLUS Lunetta spritsen Per Wikkel, check the current packaging to see how many inner wrappers there are and whether each one contains a single biscuit or a portion.
At the very least, check the wheat and milk information for the PLUS, Verkade and Jumbo varieties described here. Also check the current information for your product for egg, soya and possible traces; ingredients vary by variety.
Put the biscuits you want in a small, well-sealed container and store the rest according to the instructions on the pack. For the standard packs described here, keeping the biscuits dry and sealing the pack well after opening are important. However, putting them in a container doesn’t make them individually wrapped.
